Examining a close race

Election Day coverage on KTVT/CBS 11
featured an interview with Victoria Farrar-Myers, UT Arlington
political science professor, who talked about the close presidential
race. She said: “Voter turnout is everything, everything. It’s key to
what both campaigns have been working for throughout this last month and
throughout this last day frankly, making those last minute appearances
to hope to get every vote they possibly can.” Farrar-Myers was also
scheduled to appear on CBS 11 this morning.

Another tight race

UT Arlington political science professor Tom Marshall was quoted in a Fort Worth Star-Telegram
story about the race between Democrat state Sen. Wendy Davis and
Republican Mark Shelton for state Senate District 10. Davis defeated
Shelton in what had become the state's nastiest and most expensive
legislative race this year. "This isn't just a local Senate race," said
Marshall. "It's the only Senate race up in Texas … It's a big
enchilada."

Sharing faith

The Baptist Student Ministry at UT Arlington was featured in a story from The Baptist Standard
about Engage 24. During the recent 24-hour period, college students
connected to Baptist Collegiate Ministries around the nation and Canada
made an effort intentionally to engage their campus with the gospel.
